NOT USE TURBOTAX OR H&R BLOCK FOR YOUR TAXES

if youre filing a simple return where these two companies do NOT require you to pay any money: live your life. file away with them. youll get back what youre supposed to.

IF THEY ASK YOU TO PAY FOR ANYTHING TO UNLOCK YOUR FULL RETURN DO NOT DO IT.

listen. the IRS has a free filing system. go online and look up IRS free filing forms. they are currently available.

it will redirect you to the IRS website where they will show you a number of options to use in order to file your return 100% free.

example. turbotax was just in the middle of doing my return. they told me in order to unlock the extra hundred or so for my retirement deductions i would have to upgrade and pay $40 to them.

went to the website, chose fileyourtaxes.com which is in joint partnership with the IRS and they gave me my full refund 100% free.

AGAIN: if youre filing a simple return, no specifics just income and taxes feel free to use these companies. nothing bad will happen.

if they ask you to pay them more to do your taxes the right way dont do it and go check if there are still eligible websites on IRS.GOV to file 100% free.
